SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters `Patent No. 416,745, dated December 1( 1889.

' f Application filed September 29, 188']- Serial No. 251,071. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN WILBUR RICE, J r., a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Lynn, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Shade-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the construction of shade or globe holders adapted for use with incandescent electric lamps; and it consists,

. essentially, in the combination, with the shade or globe holding ring, of a two-part attached clasping sleeve or collar adapted to encircle the neck of the lamp or the socket therefor and provided with suitable clamping or connecting devices, whereby the two parts may be secured together in place about the neck or socket. I preferably hinge one part of the bisected or two-part collar at .one end, the other part being permanently connected to the shade-holder ring, or, as will be described,l

one part of the collar may be entirely removable or attachable at both ends.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan of a shade or globe holder constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of -a lamp-socket, Showing a shade- -holder combined therewith in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 3 is a plan ofl a preferred and improved form of my invention.

A indicates the shade or globe holding ring, and B the connected or attached clampingcollar adapted to clasp or it the neck of an incandescent lamp or a socket for said lamp. The 'collar is connected with or attached to the ring by the arms or pieces C C, as indicated, and is bisected or made in two parts, one of which is permanently attached to the ring A, while the other, by means of clamping-screws D or other clamping devices applied to ears F, may bev attached to or connected with the first in proper position about the neck or socket of the lamp. This con'- struction evidently admits of a very ready attachment or detachment of the shade-holder from its position.

The construetionshown in Fig. 1 requires the manipulation of two devices for attach- .ment or detachment; but the construction in Fig. 3 is simpler. In this instance the part 0f the ring movable with relation to the other 4 ishingedat one end, while the other or free end only is provided with .the clamping-screw. The hinge is conveniently formed by means of aV perforation in one of the ears F of the 5 5 movable part of the collar and a staple which passes through the ear and'is attached to the arm or connecting-piece C.

`To provide a simple and efficient means for attachment of a Shade-holder to a lamp, 'I 6o l furnish the socket E of the lamp with abead G, Fig. 3, which may be 'Spun from the metal of the socket, and I fashion the clasping collar or sleeve which carries the shade-holding` ring in Such way that it may embrace the ing theholder tothe neck thereof is entirely 7c avoided. Y

I am aware that in the patent to W. H. Wibel, No. 321,926, dated July 7, 1885, it is proposed to make the shade-ring in two divisions. In my invention the part which supports the ring by being attached as a sleeve oi' collar to another device is the part which is divided, and the shade ring or holder connected therewith may be divided or not at pleasure.

What I claim as my invention is- 1. A shade or globe holder comprising a shade-holding ring and a connected clasping collar or sleeve made in two semicircular parts and adapted to fit closely upon the neck of the lamp or the socket, the parts being detachably secured together, as and for the purpose described. f

2. Thecombination, with the shade or globe holding ring, of the attached clasping collar 9o or sleeve adapted t0 fit closely upon the neck of the lamp or the socket therefor and made in two semicircular parts, one of which is rigidly connected to the shade-holding ring,

while the other part is hinged at on'e end and 9 5 is provided at the other with a suitableclamping device, as and for the purpose described.

3. In a shadeholder,`a bisected clamping f sleeve ork collar adapted to fit upon the neck With an ear F, as and for the purpose 'decuring-it to the other around thefneek or 1o scribed. Y socket, as and for the purpose described.
